SPECIAL EPISODE – An exclusive interview upon his decision to
publicly share his story, this conversation contains tears as well
as (caution) mention of suicide.
He just finished season number 27 as a Major League Baseball
umpire, including having been the crew chief for the Dodgers-Blue
Jays World Series, for which he was the home plate umpire for Game
3. As a youth he had played baseball and was on his high school's
team, including winning back-to-back state championships. He
umpired in the minor leagues for seven years before being hired
full-time in MLB. He has umpired three World Series, five Wild Card
series, ten Division Series, five League Championship Series, three
World Baseball Classics, and two All-Star Games, including having
been the home plate umpire and crew chief of the 2018 All-Star
Game. Listen for his amazing testimony about a trip to Lourdes!
